RUBRIC SCORING





STUDENT RESPONSE NUMBER THREE

I choose 1) following school rules. Because the rules make school safe No running in the halls keep kids from hitting people and knocking them down. People get hurt when the run even when the don't mean to. No fighting in the school is a good rule to. Because everybody gets mad but you shouldn't fight and hurt someone. We need to keep school safe and happy so we can learn. IU don't know why about gum though.

STUDENT RESPONSE NUMBER FOUR

Cooperating with others is important at school. You will learn more if you are nice to people and you will make more friends. We do group work at school. We have to listen when everybody talks to get our work done together.

We also take turns when we play games in gym. It is more fun and you are happier when everybody cooperates.

We need to set a good example for our younger brother and sisters. They will learn to solve problems by talking instead of hitting.

When we grow up, we will have to cooperate at work or we won't get a job.
